Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3390/87,7032/470
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 3390,7032
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3390,7032 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 87,470 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 87,470 is 40890 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3390,7032
2 | 3390, 7032 |
3 | 1695, 3516 |
565, 1172 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3390,7032 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3390,7032 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,470
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/40890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3390/87,7032/470 is 6/40890
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 87,470 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,470) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,470) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,470) = ( 87 × 470 ) / 1
LCM(87,470) = 40890 / 1
LCM(87,470) = 40890
